kick start lever material
Does anyone know for sure what material the kick start lever/arm is made from? It appears to be cast steel, I'm sure it's not aluminum based on weight and magnetism. Asking for purposes of welding.1978 GS750E (barn find and current project)

Never really analyzed it, and I don't own a bike with one, but I would presume it is steel, possibly cast.

I'm pretty sure these are cast steel with a chrome coating. The markings I've seen don't seem to indicate forging.1983 GS850G, Cosmos Blue.
